UUnspeakableHorror 2018-08-23 github

Starts in full screen stretched and the background starts to blink horribly with a giant WINE dialog with no buttons or text. Setting the game to windowed mode seems to make the screen work fine at least.
Fonts seem to be missing, a dialogue appeared to let me select it and with that I could continue, "Kochi Gothic" was the most readable.
Images seem to fail to load at the beginning, I got a white screen until the game transitioned to another one. I'm not sure if this is intentional or a bug.
When the game attempts to play music (I assume) a WINE dialog appears complaining about DirectSound and what seems to be a music file, the rest of the text is unreadable (probably in some other language)

Weird white image:

After transition and font selection:

I suspect the DirectSound errors are just another example of sound being broken for some people with the current version of Proton. I get the same messages, including the same lack of audio. The weird broken characters are meant to be in Japanese. You should be able to workaround that by setting LC_ALL=ja_JP.utf8, provided you have a Japanese locale installed.

EDIT: Music works with vanilla Wine, albeit an older version (3.0.2). I will test with 3.7 shortly for a more direct comparison, and because more recent versions appear to have a regression, causing the game to crash completely.

EDIT 2: I can confirm the game runs correctly with wine-3.7, including music.

UUnspeakableHorror 2018-08-23 github

So it's a regression then which means it can probably be fixed. Thanks!
I'll install 3.7 too later today to see what happens.

Could you please try using IndirectSound. It fixed the sound issue in MaxPayne for me.

Aaqxa1 2018-08-23 github

The sound issue seems to be fixed for me now, with this and other games. There seemed to have been a lot of small updates for my installed games, so perhaps it was fixed there.

@UnspeakableHorror the regression is unrelated to the issues reported here, just a further problem that will need to be taken into account if Proton is updated to a newer Wine version.

@thirdeyefunction I can confirm that Planetarian is now working correctly without issues in windowed mode. Fullscreen still has the weird flicker.
Seems you are correct, one of the updates fixed it.

Nothing extracted yet.
